Research into other artists

Andy Martin uses this style of motion graphics in a paper animation form to create three characters for a karrang TV ad, He has used a simple form of animation using paper to create the original characters then making them more cartoon like in possible a photo-shop program then has used flash, photo shop or after effects to animate them in a manor to look like they are playing music with a sound track added in to make it seem more realistic, he has made it into the genre (stereotype)
to do with the music channels choice of music videos they play in this case it is rock, metal etc 
Looking feather into the work it seems as if many are complicated and extremely high quality but he has kept to a simple style which is easier to do and as effective as more complicated work that some others have done.

Comparing Andy's latest work or his older work it shows his talent at making animations and videos have increased dramatically due to the funding his work gets, his works shows not all great animations and graphics works don't have to be too complicated or over done to look good or be effective.

Da vinci - one of this famous artists most popular painting is the mona lisa because it gives off mystery and the passion it seems he has put into each stroke of his brush althought some through he was crazy he continused painting into his death

His art work is highly desired by many fans but nearly all of his art works are in musiums in london france and many other places, although his
death was antisipated to those around him it made his art work grow so much more in price and collectors
would pay million for them, i choose this because to me it seem mysteriousness because no one knows why she is smiling but whilst looking a this it makes me think shes smiling at someone she cares about the painter maybe or just someone in the room? this links to my work because i liked the look of texture of the brush strokes among the colors that i could possible use as my own background in my after effects advert

picasso - His work on the weeping woman was truely breath taking although odd it seemed to me he was trying to show how even sadness can be abscure and confusing which was what i thought he was doing with this perticuler piece although it was been popular for so lojng evuentuly it will be forgotten as the new art begins to repalce the old

after effects

Throughout the most recent work we animated our own or an image from the internet to practice and learn how to use the puppet pin tool to move the arms legs chest and head of the character to create a movement of some sort.
using the simple click  and drag for movement we used a more complex feature

our lastes work showed us trying to move diffrent parts of an character in a manor to show how to creatre a flawless animation

Using after effects to use the flair efffect and masking.





This process consists of using the simple actions

The process of using after effects simply starts with the use of the ram preview to buffer the video to stop the the video from being parted and jumpy using simple tools such as the grab,rotate and similar tools can make the editing much easier.

This process is the begining  of 3d work using after effects where a short process is used as basic layout/animation of a tag of my choice and two moving arrows moved into the 3d pattern.

Firstly to be safe i searched through all of the tabs on the program so i could get an idea of where everything was so it would save time me searching throught hem later on if needed once i had gotten myself comfeble with it i placed a background into the program and used a timeline to place is fade in and fade out to placed.

once i had that i downloaded a video from the inter of an arrow moving where i placed ontop of the background where it would placed with another on the oppisite side of the original,
